Chapter: 853
Jay held his shield up as flickers of blood headed towards him.
He didn’t need to do anything as Red could already fight these enemies one versus one.
However, the knight saw it would not win. It didn’t turn to fight, but it didn’t turn to run.
Instead, it dashed towards one of the doors, hoping to pull its allies into the fight.
(Fuck, don’t let it get reinforcements!) Jay screamed through Red’s mind.
If the knight reached the door, then Jay’s plan would be all over. The enemies would open more doors and soon it would snowball out of control.
Red dashed after the knight, piercing it in the back, but missing the spine where the parasites lived.
“Shit, it’s going to make it.” Jay clenched his jaw.
The necrotic helminth responded it its masters’ stress, and launched a necrotic bolt, while Jay prepared to use his magic boots speed towards the knight with his shield down.
Just before the knight reached the door, the necrotic bolt blasted against its armor, but only ended up bursting into swirling necrotic energies.
“It’s already too late to use iskean,” Jay thought, clenching his jaw.
“Uncaring Rip.”
It was his last hope.
However, the spell critically failed, only ripping out one of the numerous bones in the enemies wrist. It could still use its hand. No effect at all.
“Fuck.”
The knight slammed open the door and covered its back in the room, stopping Red from getting at its spine.
Jay glanced down the passage he came through, but at this point, it would only be a dead end. His only option was to escape the castle, then work out a new plan.
Red entered the room after the knight.

The sounds of heavy armor hitting the ground rang out, then the grand hall returned to silence once more.
“Huh?” Jay raised a brow.
Cautiously stepping towards the room, Jay saw Red standing over the corpse, squishing anything wriggling with its feet.
Other than Red and the freshly slain knight, there was nothing else in the room.
“Ah… there were no knights in here.” Jay shook his head with a smile.
“But if they aren’t here, they must be out on patrol…”
